REVIEW
Reviewer: Christi
Rating: 5 Groupie Stars
So, I think I found my new favorite book in the Harper Security Ops series (and yes, I have read every single one). This is the 16th book in this series by AK Evans, featuring Huck and Josie.
Escape is a heart-breaking, second chance, slow burn romance. Complete with the swoony protective hero, this romantic suspense starts when our MCs meet in high school. The first few chapters show us the foundation for our story. Josie’s life in high school was a nightmare until she was paired with partner for a project. She found friendship, safety, and solace in Huck, until they parted ways after graduation.
Their reunification, which occurs years after they parted ways, is fraught with complications. The relationship blossoms from the complications though is beautiful. The emotions bottled up in this story are heavy, but it is truly a satisfying read.
I don't want to give away too much of the story, however I do want to note, even though there are no trigger warnings accompanying this book, DV is depicted in several scenes. One scene in particular is slightly more graphic and is honestly gut wrenching to read. It adds the heaviness that this kind of story carries, but also shows the healing that can take place after.

AUTHOR BIO
A.K. Evans is a contemporary romance author of over forty published novels.

That might have something to do with the fact that she, along with her husband and two sons, can’t get enough of extreme sports.
Before becoming a writer, Andrea did a brief stint in the insurance and financial services industry and managed her husband’s performance automotive business. That love of extreme sports? She used to drive race cars!
When Andrea isn’t writing, she can be found homeschooling her two sons, doing yoga, snowboarding, reading, or traveling with her family. She and her husband are currently taking road trips throughout the country to visit all 50 states with their boys.
